Higher education access veterinary science access course HELP

I’m looking to go back to uni and do veterinary medicine (after previously doing animal science achieving a 2:1) surrey told me i’d need to do a HE access course to apply and i’m applying to a few other places. I’m really stressed about achieving distinctions in all the modules i’ve just completed the 5 ungraded ones. If anyone has any tips or advice on how to achieve distinctions as i’ve had hardly any support from the tutors so far. Also anyone who has been successful in getting into vet med through this course i’d love to hear about your experience!

I got into Bristol with an Access to HE Diploma in Science. Where are you doing the course?

My advice is to make sure you read the grading descriptors carefully and make sure you understand what the assignment/question is asking for.

Are you aware that tuition-fee loans aren't available for Veterinary as a second degree? I don't want to worry you, but I just want to make sure you're aware.
